Selby Fellowship - Australian Academy of Science

Organisme

The Fellowship is financed through the generosity of the trustees of the Selby Scientific Foundation. In 1980 the Director of H. B. Selby Australia recognised the need for a continuing source of funds to help finance education, research and development in the fields of science and medicine, with which the company had been involved for some 80 years as a supplier of scientific instruments, laboratory apparatus and chemicals. Accordingly, the Selby Scientific Foundation was established with contributions from H. B. Selby Australia Ltd, members of the Selby family and a number of shareholders in the Selby company.

Objecte

Fellowships are awarded to distinguished overseas scientists to visit Australia for public lecture/seminar tours and to visit scientific centres in Australia. Fellows are expected to increase public awareness of science and scientific issues and accordingly will be outstanding lecturers to the general lay public.
